NO PAUPER IMMIGRANTS FOR
HER.
Canada has made a decision about
immigration whfch is worth study by
Americans. A temporary order in
council bans mechanics, artisans or
laborers, skilled or unskilled, who do
not possess $250 in money as well as
transportation expenses to their des
tination. Transportation companies
have been notified of the order, which
will continue until further notice.
American immigration laws were,
from the first, designed to encour
age the poor but ambitious worker.
It was no desire of Uncle Sam's to
? shut out a man of power because he
lacked cash. But in late years our
"easy, unswept hearth" has attracted
the undesirables of every nation.
Now wc are forced to round up and
deport many people who would much
better never have seen our shores.
The possession of money may be
ah accident, but this is seldom true.
On general principles the possession
of $250 and transportation expenses
to a given destination argues that the
possessor has had energy and per
sistence enough to earn the money
over and above living expenses, and
thrift enough to save it, and tiiat he
knows enough about" the country to
have some definite place in mind to
go to.
. Some such' restriction as this might
prove the sort of sieve America needs
to. weed out the idle trouble-makers,
the men. who own nothing and hence
have nothing to lose.' Men with some
kind of stake in life are "the kind
America wants. She aims to increase
that by the vastness of her opportun
ity".. To place'too .high'an estimate
upon money is no wish of Uncle
Saio/s. Industry, ambtiion and ideals
are the mamstay.of good Americans.
Bui after all, in most cases one may

farmer, that "Work maun 'a gone to

That is the lesson farseeing persons |
will read between the lines of many
European dispatches, especially those
telling of the military council of Ver
sailles. That institution, which the j
French, tried vainly to put into the
League covenant as the International
General Staff, has not only been for
mally adopted while America's eyes
were turned homeward to watch the
bickering at Washington, but it has
been placed under the presidency of
Marshal Foch "with extended pow
ers:"
Here, then, we may expect to ?find
the real League of Nations, a league
within the League, and possibly the
most pregnant for evil of all the war's
aftermath.
!
Of course, the military council is
supposed to exist for the purpose of
seeing that Germany behaves herself.
She will be punisned if she does not
please Marshal Foch and his masters
Those masters arc England. Franco
and Italy now, with prospects o

This is, indeed, formidable military
alliance, an alliance which rests upon
the. power of the sword, an allianc
that will gain whatever ends it may
have to gain to justify its existence
by rattling the sabre. How far thi
alliance will go, how far it can be ex
pected to be the preserver and no

j "I ought to die now. Then, at
' ?' least, they would give me a funer
1 ? *
. j al."?Premier Cleinenceau on Ar
mistice Day, Nov. 11. 19IS.
The mutability of fame, the fickle
ness of people toward their idols, the
frailty of human fealty to , its ideals,
;jhave often been commented on. Prob
I ably no more striking illustration, of
these truths has ever been shown than
is the downfall of Clemenceau in the
political councils of his people. He
j won a war for France as truly as did
Marshal Foch's strategy or the united
gufis of England and America. He
? was publicly hailed the Savior of
? France. He was triumphantly return
i ed to power because of the masterly
[ power he exercised ^ipon the peace.
I But he could not he given the final i
I bauble of gilded retirement to the
j highest office in the republic,
i Could Clemenceau have died on Ar- I
jmistice Day all France would l:a
? !
j marched in his funeral procession, or j
j wept grief upon a million hearths, j
But France would have been the j
weaker at Versailles; Who knows by |
what mysterious wnys God moves? J
Had another than Clemenceau wielded
the power of France, in the Council of
Ten, and later in the Big Four, the
real ideals cf America might today be
governing the worhl. There might be
no Red Terror, no rear of war in the
East. For the peac2 that was written
was at least as nni-.'h Clemenceau's as
America's and for its main faults thv.
French premier is to blame.
His fame is imperishable, but in his
enforced retirement perhaps he will
j live long enough to realize that one
j cannot pour o?t ah the bitterness of
! rate without findhrg some dregs of
j wormwood in the bottom of the glass.
ENFORCEMENT NOT SO DIFFI
CULT.
A writer in The Survey, pointing
cut the gains already made in civic
peace and comfort through prohibi
tion, believes that these advantage?
I will be steadily augmented under the
j rigid enforcement which is bound to
j follow now that ih? federal amci.d
; ment is effective. v
The public in recently wet States \
has tried to prove that prohibition has j
failed so far. The Survey writer in- j
sists that although enforcement has
been far from perfect, it has not fail
ed, and that before long the amend
ment undoubtedly will be fully as well
enforced as the laws against making
money privately. Counterfeit money
appears every now and then, but
ia sufficient amounts to work any se
rious evils in our financial system.
Regulation of the liquor traffic, on
the other hand, did fail. Many times,
during the final fight against the traf-1
Sc. did its friends argue that regula-1
t-on was all that was needed," not pro- j
hibition. Regulation we had all the i
time, but it had not worked. The en- j
forcement of Sunday closing ordinan- j
es and other attempted regulative
measures was difficult indeed, and fail
ed in many communities even under a
perfectly honest and vigorous local
administration. The bootlegger is :
bound to present a simpler problem
than the old-time raloon; federal en
forcement officers will be belter
equipped for meeting the require
ments than local police forces ever
were.

Results in Sumter.

j Wichita Falls. Texas, Jan. 23.?
Twenty-seven Texas rangers and two
score Oklahoma deputies today con
tinued facing each ether along the dis
puted boundary iiae betwen the two
States running through a valuable
strip of Red river oil land which each
J state claims is in its territory.
No clash had been reported and
j Adjutant General Cope of Texas, in
j charge of the rangers, is said to have
i told A. Alexander, president of the
J Burk Dixide Oil company, whose land
i is in the center of the disputed sec
j tion. that force would not be used to
j take posession of the area held by
I the Oklahoma deputies. Texas '?would
j wait for the federal courts to decide,"
I he is quoted as saying.
Must Now Go to Work.
London. Jan. S.?Ninety-five thou
sand civilian men and women must
1 go to work as a result of the discon
tinuance of the government's dole
to the unemployed. This is expected
to have considerable effect vpon the
j labor market. In all 135.00v persons
j were receiving the government's do
nation but of these 40,000 were engi
neers, rendered idle by a strike of iron
moulders. Of the other 95.000, 61.*
000 were men and 34,000 women. It
is generally hoped that the women
will again enter domestic service.
The government's unemployment
dole to demobilized service men and
j women will continue until March 31.
I The government's donation however,
is limited to a maximum of nine
weeks at one pound a week for men
and 15 shillings a week for women.
Teh American Chamber of Com
merce states that, since the armistice,
3.000,000 demobilized soldiers' and
sailors and 1.500,000 demobilized mu
nition workers have been reabsorbed
into peace* industries.

j field, former fuel administrator; in an
article written for Farm and Home,
declares the compromise that ended
the coal strike to be "unsound in prin
ciple and a menace t<> our institu
{ tions." Dr. Garfield says: "The wages'
now paid to mine workers are suffici
ent. The opportunity that should be

mine workers can not be assured
! merely by an increase in wages."
I In proof. Dr. Garfield cites the av

I the lowest paid miners working 1^0
J days in the year while for 200 days
i work the average miner in the bitu
I minous fields of Pennsylvania. Ohio.
J Indiana and Illinois, earned $1,550 in
j 191S, and $1,300 last year. This is
more by a considerable sum than the
average net receipts of the farmer and
many others who may or may not |
work 300 days or more in the year." j
"The public ought not to be asked ;
to pay more for coal." emphasizes the ;
ex-fucl administrator. "It is impos- j
sible to increase the wage of the mine;
workers without inciting the workers]
in every other industry, including, of]
course, agriculture, to demand an in
crease m wages. This would send the;
cost of living upward in a vicious ;
spfral, which will in the end prove '
hurtful to the working man. The pur- ;

The number of dollars received is the j
important factor.
"The public is the chief sufferer j
when the capital and labor engaged in I
! the production of commodities neces- ;
J sary to the support of life fall a fight- j

j. "In these cases certainly the inter- j
! est of the public is vital and there- '
fore paramount. We may admit the j
right to strike on the part of labor, j
and the right of capital to boycott,!
but in each case the right of the pub-;
lie to live is paramount and will be ?
asserted. We now are called upon to j
